What’s a community without people?
One of Merrifield’s key priorities is to foster an engaged and vibrant community. That means implementing a series of programs and initiatives to support and nurture our residents from the day they move in.
This strong community foundation is aimed to help Merrifield residents quickly establish a rewarding and enviable lifestyle, full of socialising with friends, family and neighbours, local employment opportunities and convenient access to activities, events and services.
We have so much going on in Merrifield!
Here is just a small flavour…

We’ve recently completed the fourth edition of our Merrifield Community Survey ‘My Voice’.
My Voice is a great opportunity for Merrifield residents to share more about who they are and what is most important to them. These insights help enable the successful development of a strong and cohesive community.
We’re pleased to see 94% of residents surveyed have confidence in MAB as ‘the developer’, underpinned by our commitment to the early delivery of community amenity, infrastructure and service. The top three reasons people love living at Merrifield include access to parks and open spaces, major road networks and shops.
We always value community feedback and their role in helping shape the growth of Merrifield and Melbourne’s north.
